Wayne County Emergency Center Case Study
WOOSTER — Two officials from the Wayne County Emergency Management Agency spent four days analyzing situations being reported to the Cuyahoga County Emergency Operations Center during the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
Director Joe Villegas spent the first two days of the convention, July 18 and 19, in the EOC, and planner Barb Pittard was there the last two days.
Both served as situation unit leaders. In their roles, they worked with representatives from the FBI, Homeland Security, law enforcement, fire, public works, public health, human services, transportation, FEMA, the Coast Guard and Red Cross.
Information would filter in from all of these partners, and during shifts worked by Villegas and Pittard, they had to decipher

Not much later, there was another item reported about a uniform shop being robbed. As it turned out, the two incidents were not connected.
One of the weird things to arise during Pittard’s watch involved people putting stickers on police officers. When it first came across her computer, she did not think anything of it, she said. Then more officers were involved in getting stickers applied to their skin. One officer reported feeling a burning sensation when he removed it. Others reported feeling sick.
Field tests were done on the stickers, but the tests did not reveal anything, Pittard said. Stickers were sent to Columbus for further testing. “Unfortunately, I’ll probably never know the outcome of the tests, but I will try,” she said.
The stickers were rectangular and yellow. On it was written, “I am special.” What Pittard found peculiar is there were no reports of these stickers being applied to any citizens, only law enforcement officers.
During the protests, people were taking bottles into portable toilets and filling it with the chemical mixture, urine and feces in the commode, Villegas said. The belief was they would throw the them, “But, they didn’t throw the bottles,” he said. “They just carried them

    On Thursday, June 9, 2016 at around 8:00 pm, I, Sergeant Bever was patrolling the College Park neighborhood area. I observed several vehicles at the Pure Gas Station located at 2218 Ladnier Rd and some were playing music loud enough that could be heard over 100 feet away. I pulled into the parking lot of the gas station to address this and witnessed a black male nervously walk away from a white Lincoln Town Car parked in front of the business. A Mississippi antique tag (200664) was displayed on the Town Car and was ran through NCIC. The tag came back to a 1978 Red Buick car and registered to Joseph or Orquidea Harris of 11499 Acorn Dr, Gulfport, MS 39503. I then pulled into the car wash next to the gas station and waited for the driver to return and leave so I could conduct a traffic stop for having a switched tag.…

    My historical bumper sticker is based on some of the states wanting a Bill of Rights added to the Constitution. They wanted a Bill of Rights to make sure the government was not able to take away any of the people's rights or gain too much power. My slogan addresses the states', for example Massachusetts', point of view. It says, "The Bill of Rights is Right for U.S." which can be read as "United States" or "us" showing the states are unified over wanting amendments and that they believe a Bill of Rights is what the Constitution needs. I chose to do red, white and blue coloration because if a Bill of Rights was promised then the states would ratify the Constitution, therefore making them a part of the United States of America whose colors are…

    In the Houston Police Department, no officer will have tattoos or body art that cannot be covered by the official uniform and or plain clothes attire. If you have tattoos or body art that cannot be covered by the official HPD uniform and you are not willing to have them removed, you will not be considered for employment (Houston Police Department General Orders, 2012). A recommendation that police administrators could utilize in preventing officers like Officer Newton, is to heavily emphasize the restrictions of tattoos and body art during the preliminaries of the recruiting phase. Police administrators need to educate their subordinates on the meaning of police professionalism, and also demand professionalism from individuals whom they employ. HPD’s directives regarding body art and tattoos were previously mentioned, and by addressing this issue to interested police candidates in the early phases of their recruitment would be crucial. Supervisors have a responsibility to address their subordinates about tattoos if they observe any of their officers exposing them (derogatory or not). Peak (2012) states, “Professionalism will make police officers readily recognizable to the members of public or a desire to maintain the esprit de corps ‘morale’ of the organization” (p. 49). Professionalism in a quasi-military police organization is geared towards uniformity and slight alterations such as exposing body…

    On May 23, 1957, police officers in a Cleveland, Ohio suburb received information that a suspect in a bombing case, as well as some illegal betting equipment, might be found in the home of Dollree Mapp. Three officers went to the home and asked for permission to enter, but Mapp refused to admit them without a search warrant. Two officers left, and one remained. Three hours later, the two returned with several other officers. Brandishing a piece of paper, they broke in the door. Mapp asked to see the “warrant” and took it from an officer, putting it in her dress. The officers struggled with Mapp and took the piece of paper away from her. They handcuffed her for being “belligerent.”…

    Driving around I notice many different bumper stickers on a huge variety of cars. Bumper stickers can tell you a lot about a person whom you might not really know. For instance, band stickers can tell you what type of music the person driving might listen to. A person might stick a religious sticker on their car to openly share their spiritual faith and beliefs. There are humorous and sarcastic novelty stickers too, with slogans like, "Ex-lovers make great speed bumps."…

    Many body accessories like piercings and tattoos are seen everywhere in today's pop culture. As tattoos and piercings evolved over time, they have become more popular, socially acceptable, and are known as an expression of character. All people have different opinions, but most people tend to think an excessive amount of anything, like tattoos or piercings, are out of the ordinary or not acceptable. In the article "The Sociology of Leopard Man", the author Logan Feys says, "He rejects society and all it has to offer in favor of a simple and solitary existence. He calls himself Tom Leppard. But he is more widely known as 'Leopard Man,' owing to the fact that he is tattooed from head to toe with leopard spots. He is, according to society, a freak" ( 1 ). Leopard Man lives happily on his own and "doesn't live for other people's reactions" ( 3 ). We can conclude that all of Leopard Man's spots bring forth tons of negative responses. Leopard Man is surely an individual who rises above society and doesn't let words like "freak" conquer his self-esteem or define who he really is.…

    The strong State and Federal Government presence in Oklahoma City helped the response-and-rescue effort. For example, immediately following the explosion, the Oklahoma City Fire Department set up an Incident Command System (ICS) to manage the intensive search-and-rescue mission and massive influx of federal, state, local, and voluntary agency resources (Oklahoma Department of Civil Emergency Management, 1996). Also, working together, the local police department, the county sheriff, and state and federal agencies handled traffic and security. By 9:25 a.m., 23 minutes after the blast, the State Emergency Operations Center was operational and included representatives from the state departments of public safety, human services, military, health, and education. Soon joining these agencies were the National Weather Service, the Civil Air Patrol, and the American Red Cross (ARC).…
